“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible milestone for MightyMeals and a reflection of how far we’ve come since starting this company in 2015,” said Stefano Marzano, CEO and Co-Founder of MightyMeals. “What started as an idea to make healthy eating easier has grown into something much bigger, and that growth would not be possible without our team, our customers, and the community that has supported us along the way. We’re proud of what we’ve built, but we’re even more excited about where MightyMeals is going next.”
